A large American crocodile thrashed and growled as wildlife officials worked to remove it from the backyard pool of a home in the Florida Keys early Sunday morning.
Officials say they received a call from a homeowner in Plantation Key at around 2 a.m. local time on Sunday, after the massive creature was spotted in their below-ground pool. Video footage recorded during the successful capture shows a group of"trappers" from an organization called Pesky Critters Animal Control reining in the reptile with what appears to be a spool of rope, while the creature tugs, rolls and splashes around in the water.
"We now have a slippery pool deck here," Todd Hardwick, the trapper tasked with collecting the animal from the property, can be heard telling a colleague and a law enforcement officer in the video that Pesky Critters shared to itsHardwick was able to"secure" the crocodile with help from an assistant trapper, Jeff Peterla. The pair heaved the reptile into the pool deck and restrained it before they dragged it along the backyard patio with the help of a Monroe County officer.
